Property prices have risen dramatically over the past decade. According to the UK house price index, the average house price has grown by over ** percent since 2015. This price development has led to the gap between the cost of buying and renting a property to close. In 2023, buying a three-bedroom house in the UK was no longer more affordable than renting one.

This repository is the second updated version of the attribute-linked residential property price dataset in UK Data Service ReShare 854240 (https://reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk/854240/). As with the first updated version (ReShare 855033 https://reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk/855033/) in 2021, this updated dataset contains individual property transactions and associated variables from both Land Registry Price Paid Dataset (LR PPD) and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data. This is a linked result by address matching between LR-PPD data (1/1/1995-27/6/2022) and Domestic EPCs data (the twelfth version: ending with 30/6/2022). It is the whole of the 2022 update house price per square metre dataset published in the Greater London Authority (GLA) London Datastore (https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/house-price-per-square-metre-in-england-and-wales). The linked dataset in this repository is the uncorrected version, recording almost 20 million transactions with 106 variables in England and Wales between 1/1/1995 and 27/6/2022. We have offered technical validation and data cleaning code in UKDA ReShare 854240 to help users to evaluate the representation and to clean up the data. There is no unique way to clean this raw linked dataset, so we suggest users develop their own clean-up process based on their research requirements. In addition, this repository covers the original LR PPD and Domestic EPCs for the linked data (house price per square metre dataset). Similar to the first updated version, a field header has been added in LR PPD. Six variables (individual lodgement identifier, address, address 1, address 2, address 3, postcode) in Domestic EPCs are removed. A newly created unique identifier (id) is added in Domestic EPCs, this id is newly created for Version 12 Domestic EPCs. It is not the same id as in the Domestic EPCs from UK Data Service ReShare 854240 and ReShare 855033. Since November 2021 DLUCH has published Domestic EPCs with the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) hence the dataset in this repository contains the UPRN information from the Domestic EPCs.
